Today Alltech opened the first ever Nutrigenomics Center at its headquarters in Lexington, KY. This state of the art facility will be employing 80 researchers doing cutting edge research in nutrition and genomics. Nutrigenomics is the study of the relationship between diet and gene expression.

To officially open the center, a ribbon cutting was held this morning with Alltech President, Dr. Pearse Lyons and Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear.

I’ll be posting interviews with them soon but caught the ribbon cutting on video too. That’s part of that whole “new media reporter” thing you know. I’m loading video from the Alltech Symposium onto their YouTube account just so you don’t get confused.
